Hannam Chain

Though some of Koreatown’s supermarkets boast live seafood, Hannam Chain is one of the few that has tanks that keep crustacean delicacies like crab and lobsters at their peak (read: alive) until you’re ready to smother them with melted butter. The seafood section along the back wall is where you can make eye contact with your dinner and treat yourself to a fancy meal for under $20. The Pico-Union Hannam Chain location also has an extensive collection of freshly steamed rice cakes that are usually eaten on holidays and special occasions. Lucky for us, we can get the sticky, gluten-free sweets on even our most mundane weeknights—no Lunar New Year necessary. Hannam Chain has it’s own fenced in lot with free parking.
